Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Ruoyun stared at Elder Mei in shock. "Most valuable treasures in ruins are usually guarded by powerful spiritual beasts. Also, what made you think that these treasures were gifts for you? You only need to ponder a little more to know that there must be other dangers ahead. That's simply common sense, right? As for what kind of dangers there are, how would I know that? I watched how you had fought for the treasures you wanted so I thought that you must have enough confidence to overcome any danger."
"You..." Elder Mei was so angry that her face turned ashen and she glared at Gu Ruoyun bitterly.
This damned girl was actually accusing them of lacking common sense?
"Forget it, Elder Mei, it's not a big loss anyway. Let's just consider it as... We never got the treasure in the first place."
Elder Yun was afraid that the black-robed man would get angry so she quickly stopped Elder Mei. She then shook her head and said, "Don't forget, we're here for the inheritance. If we can obtain this inheritance, it would be much more important than those treasures."
Elder Mei took a deep breath when she heard this and suppressed her rage. She glared at Gu Ruoyun angrily but turned away and did not say a word.
Her heart was bleeding at this point!
Elder Yun pursed her lips and stared at Gu Ruoyun with a complicated look in her eyes before she followed Elder Mei and walked off.
Everyone had also put the blame on Gu Ruoyun's head. If she had warned them earlier on, would this have happened?
"It's all your fault!"
One cultivator could not endure this irritation. He charged towards Gu Ruoyun with eyes full of insanity as he yelled, "It's your fault that I had lost her after getting these treasures! Furthermore, my older brother had lost his life for the sake of those treasures It's your fault that he had died for nothing! Why didn't you warn us in the first place? Why?"
He roared angrily as he glared at Gu Ruoyun with reddened eyes.
It was almost as if Gu Ruoyun had murdered his older brother.
At that moment, the crowd had forgotten that if it had not been for their earlier greed, perhaps so many of them would not have lost their lives. They would also not have run into the spiritual beasts or endure the heartache of their losses later on!
However, they never considered it as their own mistake. They only knew how to throw their problems onto others and to vent their anger!
Stab!
The black-robed man finally made his move when the cultivator charged towards Gu Ruoyun!
A sharp blade pierced towards the cultivator and slashed through his throat. Blood began to pour out like a blooming red rose and slowly trickled down the cultivator's body.
"I won't be giving any of you a second chance!"
He would never give any of them the opportunity to hurt this girl!
That cultivator glared angrily at Gu Ruoyun even as he died. His vicious gaze was like a poisonous viper, piercing through her skin. If looks could kill, Gu Ruoyun would probably have been cut to pieces under everyone's glare.
Gu Ruoyun frowned as her eyes turned towards the black-robed man. "You've helped me time and time again and you still claim that we don't know each other?"
The black-robed man's back stiffened. "He annoyed me!" He replied in a hoarse voice.
He had killed him because he had been annoyed by the cultivator?
No one in the area believed his explanation, least of all Gu Ruoyun. However, it was very obvious that because of his actions, no one else dared to cause trouble for Gu Ruoyun.
The black-robed man did not say anything else as he made his way towards the deeper end of the ruins.
Gu Ruoyun went deep into thought as she stared at his back...
